While the issue here is Pakistan so I will in relation with Pakistan. It does not matter if Pakistan's growth rate is higher or lower than India, talking in relation with Jana's comment on the plight of Indian muslims, my question was what heavenly setting has Pakistan given to muslims in return ?
As I said in another post Pakistan's foundations are very weak. Its landlords were never curbed unlike what Nehru did first. Right after coming to power Nehru got rid of all the landlords and put strict control on businesses so that India does not get taken over by corporations or individual interest. While it can be argued that Jinnah's demise did not give him the time to make these changes, his short sightedness in regards to these issues is what has lead to Pakistan's downfall. The leaders after him only solidified the control of a few individuals over Pakistan and that has continued till today.
The WOT is just a symptom and even after its end, the economy wont see a drastic increase. While pockets of growth are always present, the very foundations of economics within the country are weak. Pakistan central regulatory agencies have little say in the economic conditions of the country and unlike India where the government pull all the strings, Pakistan has no clear strong hand which regulates the market. In India the budget is a huge exercise with major ramifications to business, in Pakistan the budget does not mirror the economy and the government does not have the strength to guide the country. Couple that with corruption and a general mistrust in the political system and you get a nice mix for a failed nation.
If Pakistan really has to change then change your whole political stance. Get rid of the India obsession and forget Kashmir. You are spending huge amount in a lost cause against a giant who has an economy almost 10 times that of you. You tell me who will win in the end ?
Start changing you personal agendas and only then maybe will Pakistan emerge from the ashes, if everything continues till now then the CIA's prediction that Pakistan will be engulfed in full blown civil war by 2015 will surely come true.
